The Air Jordan 9: A Look At The Legendary Shoe

The Air Jordan 9 is a legendary basketball shoe in the Air Jordan line. It was the ninth shoe released in the iconic series and was designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1993. Although Michael Jordan never actually wore the Jordan 9 on the court due to his first retirement, the shoe still carries a significant legacy as it was the first Jordan shoe to be released after his retirement. The Jordan 9 was designed with a sleeker look than its predecessor, the Air Jordan 8, and featured a full-length midsole and a full-length air cushion. The shoe also featured various symbols of Jordan’s life and career, such as the number “23” on the heel, a “rising sun” logo on the tongue, and the Jumpman logo on the sole. The Air Jordan 9 was released in four colorways, the most popular being the “Olive” and “Bred” colorways.
